A full-bodied black tea blend built around that same tradition: Assam for malt and body, Keemun for depth and Oolong for a gentle smokiness that rounds the whole blend out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBold, rich, and confidently smoky with a satisfying amber colour. The smoke is present without being aggressive - this is not Lapsang Souchong. The malt and body keep it grounded, which means it holds up well to milk if you want to soften the smoky edge, or drinks beautifully black if you want the full campfire character. A cup with genuine presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; font-family: var(--font-heading--family); color: #1f1f1f;\"\u003eHow to brew the perfect cup\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col class=\"brewing-steps\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse freshly boiled water, not left to cool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse one heaped teaspoon per cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteep for 3 to 4 minutes - longer deepens the smoke, shorter keeps it malty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTry it black first.
